Looking at the doubt on Tie Hammer's face, Zarin gave a bitter smile. It was true that he had cared about Tie Hammer and the others, and he was indeed strict with them, but... everyone had to live, he Zarin The ancestor of the family was indeed a minor aristocrat, but he had already been left alone. He was just a minor official in Tuyuhun.
He seems to be in charge of Iron Hammer and the others, but he himself doesn't get much treatment. He may just have more food than them. Other than that, what's the difference? He also wants to look at the faces of the nobles above. There are some things. If he doesn't deal with Iron Hammer and the others, he will be dealt with by others. He also wants his family to survive? Is there anything wrong?
But it’s different now. Your Highness is here. Although his previous identity is gone, his life is not harder, but better. To be honest, the difference between him and people like Iron Hammer before is that their family can eat Just a full meal.
But now they can still have enough to eat, but their family can also get more livestock than before. The important thing is that he knows that the lives of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty are much better than those of the Turkic little nobles. .
So Zarin had the same idea as Iron Hammer in his heart, but no one believed him when he said it. But today was different. He was going to help His Highness fight in the war. He was following the previous Khan's son Murong Shun. He didn't know who he was going to fight with specifically. Although fighting was risky, he actually had no regrets.
Because he is gone, his home is completely safe.
To be honest, Zalin is grateful to His Highness. He was a soldier who followed King Tianzhu. After he was captured, if His Highness hadn't come and released him, I'm afraid he would have been beheaded in the end. Soldiers like them, It would have been impossible to survive in the past, not even his son or the like.
But now, His Highness is said to have only targeted the original nobles of Tuyuhun, and the rest are not in trouble.
"Yes, I am going to fight for His Highness, so if I go out this time, I may not be able to come back." Zalin nodded seriously.
"Why are you going? How do you have the qualifications? Why don't you recruit us?" Iron Hammer Li Ke asked.
Zarin: "..." He was stunned by Tie Hammer's words.
Is fighting a good thing? In the past, when fighting for the Khan, who would not complain once he was recruited? Why do you react like this?
"Is war a good thing? People will die in war." Zarin looked at the hammer in disbelief.
"I know that people will die in war, but I am willing to fight for His Highness, because even if they die, my son and my mother-in-law can live on. His Highness said that we are not fighting for others, but for others. Protecting his wife and children, but fighting for the Khan?" Iron Hammer asked.
Zarin was stunned for a moment. Can Iron Hammer understand this?
"No, fighting for the Khan is just for his own selfish desires. He never thinks about us people. If he was thinking about all the herdsmen, he would not conflict with the Tang Dynasty. But not His Highness, Your Highness is doing it for us. These common people are fighting for us common people, so I am willing to fight for His Highness." Iron Hammer answered his own question.
Zarin was silent for a moment, then he said with a wry smile: "You are right, but I don't know why it was us. Maybe we made mistakes before, and now we have made up for it."
Tie Zhui originally wanted to say, His Highness, don't worry about you people going, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. Zalin's family are all here, and he can't defect even if he wants to come.
"Tie Hammer, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to gather. I have something to ask for." Zarin paused and continued.
"Go ahead." Tie Shui was silent for a moment and did not refuse.
"After I leave, although my son is twenty, he has an impulsive personality. If anything happens at home, I hope you can help me. If I die, I hope you can take care of me." Zalin said seriously. He spoke.
Iron Hammer shook his head directly.
"You don't want to?" Zalin was a little stunned. It seemed that he didn't have that much of a conflict with him.
"No, I can help you when I have nothing to do, but I have to help His Highness with work most of the time, so I may not be at home." Tie Zhui said, "What I mean by shaking my head is that if you really fight for His Highness, , I think you don’t have to worry, because if you really die fighting for His Highness, your family, I think His Highness will take good care of them."
Zarin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed His Highness's style.
"Anyway, I'm leaving. Let's say goodbye. I don't know if I can see you again next time. Brother Iron Hammer, take care." Zalin bowed his hand to Iron Hammer.
"Take care." Iron Hammer also bowed his hand, and then added: "Remember to come back alive."
Zalin was happy, "What? You don't want me to die anymore?"
"No, if you die, the mission entrusted to you by His Highness may fail, so you'd better stay alive." Iron Hammer shook his head.
Zarin: "..."
After saying goodbye, Tie Zhui was silent for a moment as he watched Zalin's retreating back. He turned towards Zalin's house. He knew Zalin's family. The whole family had always stayed at home and did not dare to go anywhere. There's definitely not much food left.
Tie Hammer decided to take his three sons to work. Their third son was seventeen years old and could work for His Highness. In this way, at least they can live well at home.
Zarin didn't know what Iron Hammer was thinking. He rode his horse straight to the gathering place. Speaking of which, His Highness didn't restrict them at all this time. He just sent someone to notify them. If they wanted to run away, I can still run.
It's just that Zalin didn't choose to run, because in this vast desert grassland, a person or a family cannot survive, and they must always be with a tribe.
But as long as you follow a tribe, you can't escape these things. Instead of that, why not follow His Highness.
At least His Highness's behavior made Zalin feel that there is always something different in the world.
…
About twenty miles away from the Red Sea, countless cavalry were gathering from all directions. These gathered were the five thousand cavalry who followed Murong Shun this time.
Murong Shun stood silently. In front of him was Li Ke, and behind Li Ke were two thousand cavalrymen wearing bright light armor, standing neatly. They all stood behind Li Ke without mounting their horses.
Now, the number of Turkic cavalry gathered below has exceeded 4,000. If he can completely control these people, Murong Shun may even have a chance to directly capture Li Ke at this time.
It's just a pity that Murong Shun knew very well that although these cavalry were summoned, if they...if he dared to talk about arresting Li Ke, someone might backhand him and give him a knife.
Thinking of this, Murong Shun smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time he admired His Highness in front of him. Indeed, he once thought that His Highness needed him to rule Tuyuhun, but now...it has only been half a month, and his previous prestige has long been reduced to Nothing, or rather, he never had any prestige?
But now, His Highness is the one who responds to everything in Tuyuhun.
